I suggest that you troubleshoot first, instead of a hard reset. Factory reset is within settings.
If any google app won't download nor install, it's probably because your google services are not updated or is corrupted. Try the next steps before factory reset.
1. Go to settings, scroll down to app.
2. From here search for PlayStore and tap it.
3. Tap Clear Cache and Clear data.
4. Go Back.
5. Search now for Google services, this one is not under the download tab, which you can notice at the top of the screen, instead got to All and scroll down until you find it.
6. Tap Clear Cache and Clear data if available.
7. Reboot phone or tablet.
Most of the time this procedure do work, some people also opt to remove the google account and sign in after the reboot.
After the boot, open the PlayStore, accept the agreement and try to download anything from the PlayStore that is compatible with your tablet. Also, just to be sure, go to settings, security, look for Unknown Sources and enable it. This feature allow you to install any apk file that is not from the PlayStore.

I keep getting kicked out of certain game apps on my Samsung galaxy tab e. How do I fix this problem?

First, I'm not a Samsung tech.
* I get problems downloading new apps or unable to get updates.
* Found that the tablet (or phone) memory gets filled and slows down every thing. It won't self clear memory even when you ask it to.
* Go to settings, Apps, then check the memory cache and clear them.
* This also means your internal memory is packed. (or too small). Clear or upgrade memory for more space.

* you may need to do a "Hard Reset" to clear all the unwanted junk off the device. Check your settings for a "factory reset" option. Sometimes called a "factory restore"
* Be sure to back up your device before the reset. Or transfer the data to the "cloud drive" , SD card.
* Reload the current operating system (Android or similar).
* Only reload the apps you really need. Leave the rest of the junk in the "Cloud" This way you still have usable memory.

* Hard reset and bypass Google; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDSrChQxQ_o
* Factory reset (Hard incl.); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TILb8CpvAYk
* Still have problems? Check your warranty. Call for service.

I had to reset it because it would not go past the blue screen. Now i dont have adobe or anything like that on it. I tried using playstore, it wont work, how do i fix it?

Sounds like you did a hard reset which may have deleted all your settings and passwords.you will have to sign back into google for playstore to work then download all the apps that are missing.you need to find out how to do a soft reset which will fix frozen tablets without erasing data.

Launcher is missing

Launcher is Missing is it a luncher app you downloaded from the playstore or is it the default launcher of your phone because if its just an app that you downloaded from the playstore its missing because a factory reset will erase all your data and apps

If its the dufault launcher is your phone rooted?
Did you perhaps uninstall the default launcher using a root tool like link to SD?

If you have uninstalled your default launcher then you would have to flash a stock rom from your phone's manufacturer or download a custom rom from the internet

How can I install play store on my blackphone BP1?

You can sideload apps to your phone. Just Google sideloading apps and follow the directions. But, be aware that sideloaded apps do not always function properly. If your phone did not come with Playstore, you may have to use other Android app providers to get the apps you want. You can search Android apps and find many sites that allow you to download apps and sideload them onto your phone. Many of the apps are the same as the ones you would find at Playstore. As always, be sure to check everything you download with a virus/malware app.

How do I install google play store.

Make sure by going to the Application Manager under Settings and verify that you haven't just lost the icon on some page. The playstore is normally loaded as part of the operating system for your device. There are places where you can download an installable file for the playstore, but some devices will not allow installation of downloaded .apk files, or require you to turn off a setting that prohibits installing downloaded files. Without knowing the mfr and model number of your device, who knows what you would have to do to get this app reinstalled if you truly have somehow deleted it.
